    Autonomous superintelligence isn’t that far away. In the next decade, we can expect to have a machine that is given agency and is more intelligent than us—a machine that has the capacity to act and the ability to do things beyond our comprehension.

    I have a vague idea of my own about how the mind achieves various levels of understanding, comprehension, and creativity. This idea is pure speculation and may stem from a completely rudimentary understanding of how the mind works, based on my casual dabbling in endocrinology and basic neuroanatomy. However, this is how I understand the…
